Broccoli is one vegetable that most don’t enjoy eating.
Serve it in a soup however, and it’s completely transformed.
With all the fiber and incredible health benefits, like supporting the liver and detoxing excess estrogen out of your system, how could you not want to eat it! This veggie is truly beneficial for health. So if you’re not a broccoli lover, please find a way to enjoy it. Maybe this soup will be the trick?
You can whip this soup up in 15 minutes. It really is a fuss-free soup to make. It’s loaded with hormone balancing fats, immune supportive vitamin C, plus iron, magnesium, calcium and fiber.
Avocado lends the perfect creaminess to this soup without having to add any cream. So for all the lactose intolerant and non-dairy drinkers out there, you can enjoy a creamy broccoli carrot soup minus the dairy!
So eat up and stay warm. It’s chilly out there ?
